akravetz 29 Report post Posted March 6, 2023 I coach a 14U team and we have five girls. There's a raging debate on whether a girl, who is a 15yo, can play with peewees or even squirts. They feel they can. I thought USA Hockey allowed only dropping one age division for girls. However, I can't find the policy or the rule. Can someone help me out here. It's petty but I'm tired of the arguing. Andy in Peoria Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 15 year old girl should be on an under-16 team. I'm guessing there is no all-female or mixed under-16/bantam team in your area and she might be at a physical disadvantage as 15 and 16 year old boys can check harder than the 13 and 14 year old boys.
